Najlepsze efekty wizualne w kinie i tv

[SEZON NAGRÓD 2017/2018] Visual Effects Society Awards (Stowarzyszenie Twórców Efektów Wizualnych) ogłosiło nominacje do swoich dorocznych nagród. Liderami nominacji są „Blade Runner 2049”, „Wojna o Planetę Małp” i „Gra o tron”.

„Blade Runner 2049” i „Wojna o Planetę Małp” otrzymały po siedem nominacji, w tym w najważniejszej kategorii doceniającej produkcje kinowe. W tej kategorii doceniono też: „Strażników galaktyki vol. 2” (trzy nominacje), „Kong: Wyspa Czaszki” (cztery nominacje), „Gwiezdne wojny: Ostatni Jedi” (cztery nominacje). W kategorii dotyczącej produkcji, w których efekty wizualne odgrywają drugoplanową rolę nominacje otrzymały: „Dunkierka”, „Czas mroku”, „Pomniejszenie”, „mother!” i „Only the Brave”. „Gru, Dru i Minionki” otrzymały pięć nominacji i jest to rekord wśród filmów animowanych. W telewizji rządzi „Gra o tron” z 11 nominacjami.

W ostatnich 10 latach sześciokrotnie laureat głównej nagrody Stowarzyszenia otrzymywał potem Oscara za efekty wizualne. W 2011 roku doceniony przez Stowarzyszenie za efekty drugoplanowe „Hugo” otrzymał potem Oscara. Nie należy więc lekceważyć nominacji wśród efektów drugoplanowych. Co ciekawe, na skróconej liście kandydatów do Oscara za efekty wizualne jest kilka tytułów, które zostały pominięte przez Stowarzyszenie („Alien: Covenant”, „Okja”, „The Shape of Water” i „Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets”). W 2016 roku Oscara za efekty zdobył film „Ex Machina”, który nie otrzymał nominacji do nagród Stowarzyszenia.

W bardzo ciekawej kategorii doceniającej najlepiej stworzoną postać za pomocą efektów wizualnych nominacje otrzymali: Rachel z „Blade Runner 2049”, Kong z filmu „Kong: Wyspa Czaszki” oraz Zła Małpa i Cezar z „Wojny o Planetę Małp”.

Jeśli chodzi o firmy, które stworzyły efekty wizualne w najważniejszej kategorii, to „Wojna o Planetę Małp” powstała w WETA, „Ostatni Jedi” i „Wyspa Czaszki” to Industrial Light & Magic, a „Dunkierka” to Double Negative. „Blade Runner 2049” i „Strażnicy galaktyki vol. 2” to współpraca wielu firm specjalizujących się w pracy nad efektami.

Nagrodę specjalną im. Georgesa Meliesa za całokształt otrzyma Joe Letteri, który otrzymał też nominację za „Wojnę o Planetę Małp”. Finał 16 edycji nagród Stowarzyszenia odbędzie się 13 lutego.
